Hidden Valley Nature Center in your plans over the next couple of days?

GOOD NEWS! The road is being repaved (no more slaloming around the muffler-munching potholes)!

BAD NEWS! The road is being repaved--and HVNC will be inaccessible for most of this week. Wander another fabulous preserve instead! Check out the full list of preserves awaiting your exploration!

Time spent with Forest and Lands Manager Tim Libby out in the woods is always time well spent! Thank you to everyone who came out to Hidden Valley Nature Center on Saturday as Tim led us on the new Project Canopy Walking tour.

The self-guided tour is complete with wonderful new informational displays and offers views and comparisons of our forest management through the years and incorporates both Low Impact Forestry and Maine Audubon's Forestry for Maine Birds. Our forestry program sustainably produces up to 30 cords of firewood, timber frames, and lumber for furniture and other uses each year.

This project is made possible by funding from the Maine Forest Service’s Project Canopy Program and the generous support of our members.

By the way, if you join or renew your membership now we have an anonymous donor that is doubling your contribution! https://www.midcoastconservancy.org/donate 😁👍👏

Well we tried...but unfortunately the snow was so slushy that our attempt to groom the trails just made a bit of a mess. That said, it is beautiful out here so come on out and enjoy what will likely be the last bit of snow for the season.

If you do venture out, please note conditions are kind of like mashed potatoes, we are working to clear multiple blowdowns and branches across trails, and definitely expect some muddy spots.

Considering the sloppy conditions, we will not be open for ski or equipment rentals this weekend.

Follow our trail report for the latest updates: https://www.midcoastconservancy.org/hvnc-trails

Just when we thought the ski season was over! We will assess snow conditions after the storm, but we will update folks on the trail conditions here ( https://www.midcoastconservancy.org/hvnc-trails ). Our hope is to lay out some nice groomers to enjoy for the weekend. If conditions look good we will also try and be open for ski rentals at the Welcome Center Sat./Sun. Stay tuned, we will send out an update Friday!

Be safe!

DETOUR ALERT!
Due to the storm, access to HVNC is limited to one direction. There are trees down blocking Egypt Rd from the Alna side to the south so anyone wanting to get to HVNC needs to come from the Jefferson direction (off of RT 215).
